Windows 10's May 2020 Update is finally here. That doesn't mean you'll get it immediately. It may be weeks (or even months!) before Windows Update even offers the update on your system. Here's how you upgrade right now.
How to Get the Update from Windows Update
To install this update from Windows Update, head to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update on your PC. Click "Check for Updates" and you may be offered the update right here, in this window.
Look for the words "Feature update to Windows 10, version 2004" section. Click "Download and install" under it to install the update.
However, there's a good chance you won't see the update in Windows Update. If you just see a "You're up to date" message without any information about the new version of Windows 10, Microsoft hasn't made it available to your PC yet.
Windows Update slowly rolls out these updates over time. Rather than offering a big update like the May 2020 Update to every Windows 10 PC in the world at once, Microsoft offers it to a small number of PCs at first.
Microsoft watches how the rollout is going. If there are suddenly blue screens, performance bugs, or other problems, Microsoft can "pause" the rollout and fix the bugs before resuming it. If the update hasn't appeared in Windows Update yet, it's possible Microsoft isn't yet confident that it will work perfectly with your PC.
The rollout will take at least a few weeks. Past updates have taken months to reach everyone. You can just wait and, eventually, Windows Update will offer to install the new software on your PC.
How to Force an Upgrade to the May 2020 Update
However, if you want the update immediately, you can get it. While Microsoft would prefer to test the update a bit more, it is a stable version of Windows 10 and it should likely work fine on your PC.
To skip the slow rollout process, head to Microsoft's Download Windows 10 web page and click "Update now" to download the Update Assistant. Run the downloaded EXE file.
You'll see a message telling you which version of Windows 10 you're running and informing you that the latest version of Windows is version 2004, which is the May 2020 Update. Click "Update Now" to install it.
Microsoft's tool will automatically download the latest update and install it on your PC. You can keep using your PC while the Update Assistant does its job.
Eventually, you'll be prompted to restart your PC to install the update. That's it!
If you run into a bug or another problem with the update, you can roll back to your old version of Windows 10 from Settings > Update & security > Recovery. You must do this within the first ten days after upgrading or Windows 10 will remove the requires files to free up disk space on your PC.
The ZIP file format reduces the size of files by compressing them, saving disk space, and reducing network transfer times. It also allows you to combine several files into a single one that's easy to share with others. Here's how to zip and unzip files on Windows 10. How to Create a Zip File (Compressed Folder) First, open File Explorer and locate the files or folders you'd like to compress and combine into a Zip file. Windows refers to a Zip file as a "compressed folder," so the terms are interchangeable in this case. We'll be using a group of image files as an example, but you can zip any type of file. If it's a single file or folder you'd like to compress, right-click it and a menu will pop up. Click "Send to," and then click "Compressed (Zipped) Folder." You can also select multiple files or folders in Explorer, and then follow the same steps above to compress them simultaneously. Windows compresses the fi...
Parental controls on any digital system or service are important, both for protecting innocent children from inappropriate content and for protecting your systems from mischievous kids. Windows 10 provides child accounts and family groups to limit content, screen time, and more. What Parental Controls Does Windows 10 Offer? Just as you log into your account to access any Windows device, you can create a child account that's easy to monitor and regulate. All parental controls are set for the child account by the parent account, including: Generating activity reports on app or game use, browser history, web searches, and screen time Limiting screen time for Windows 10 or Xbox One through weekly schedules Restricting app and game use for each device Blocking inappropriate websites and apps Managing the child's wallet and purchasing permissions in the Microsoft Store Tracking the child's location on an Android device running Microsoft Launcher (or a Wind...
